Question

Backdoor Roth v. nondeductible IRA

In order for me to get it to work was the following. (At least I hope it works.)

  • Enter 1099R
  • Details/Form 8606, Enter the amount in "Conversions to Roth..."
  • Adjustments to income to show IRA contributions.

Now the I040 shows 4a IRA distributions as indicated on 1099-R. Taxable amount = $0

Am I remotely close?

Thanks in advance, Christopher

The nondeductible contribution is reported for the tax year it was assigned to.

The backdoor is a conversion process and is reported for the calendar year it happened. It is nontaxable when the Basis is entered. That means only post-tax funds, and not any pre-tax or never-taxed funds in any Trad IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA or rollover Trad IRA existed. Only that post-tax "backdoor" contribution existed, was not invested while in the Trad IRA, and had no gain or loss while in the Trad IRA.
